Malaga manager Manuel Pellegrini, who took Villarreal to the Champions League semi-finals in 2006, believes the tie is wide open.

“I don’t think the game in Germany will be too different from tonight, only an early goal for either team could change things. Both sides went for it tonight and it made for a good open game,” he said.
